Armed NH Resident Torch UN Flag
New Hampshire Underground ^ | 12/18/04 | Kat Dillon

Posted on 12/18/2004 4:19:16 PM PST by bookish_lass

For Immediate Release December 18, 2004

SUBJECT: NH residents torch UN flag

Liberty lovers from across the Live Free or Die State converged on Keene, New Hampshire today to demonstrate their defiance of the United Nations. Twenty citizens from Keene and as far away as Rochester and Etna joined in opposing the UN by burning multiple UN flags. A promised counter-protest failed to materialize.

Various reasons for disgust with the UN drew this group together. Some were there in opposition to UN attempts to ban private gun ownership as was proposed at the 2001 UN Small Arms and Light Weapons Conference. A few gun rights advocates wore their firearms openly in celebration of the fact that our right to defend ourselves and our families is respected in New Hampshire. The oil-for-food scandal drew many to protest the excesses of Kofi Annan and the theft of our tax dollars.

The loss of sovereignty inherent in world government, and in particular from the giving over of US parklands to UN control angered many. Many were surprised to learn that the UN controls a large section of forest land in New Hampshire, the Hubbard Brook Biosphere Reserve and Experimental Forest, located in the White Mountain National Forest. Many participants in the demonstration hope for passage of New Hampshire's 2005-H-0002-R, which if passed will urge Congress to withdraw the United States from the United Nations.

At our southern border is Mass and at the west is VT.

Needless to say, NH has been infiltrated.

Make me KING for just 1 hour and I could fix that problem! Probably a few others too.

Do you mean the site with the map showing what areas in the US the UN has control over?

Nefarious, ain't it?

There was also a UN flag burning in Missoula, MT (most liberal town in the state) a few weeks ago.

UN controls all our national parks, I think. Yellowstone, and Olympic Rainforest, I know for sure.

For the sake of economy, I like the idea of using white handkerchefs/cloths signifying "cowardice" and "surrender" -waving them, throwing them to the ground, stomping on them, then burning them - symbolic.

However, there nothing like a flag for burning.

"Make me KING"

Here Ye, Here Ye, Here Ye, All Dwellers and Subjects In the Kingdom of Oz! Be it known henceforth, hither, yonder, and anon, that the Mitre and the Crown has this day passed to B4Ranch! Long Live The King!

(Sic'em, King. ;>)

UNITED NATIONS DAY - OCTOBER 24,would be a better day.

Dec 15th - Bill of Rights Day seems somewhat more appropriate

I'd hate to see Third World countries disenfranchised if the UN went up, figuratively speaking, in smoke.

Under my command it would go down in smoke! I'm debating whether to evacuate the building 1st. In order to work there you would have to be a Communist, wouldn't you?

>>The UN is simply a joke and always has been.<<

You evidently don't know much about them. Have you heard of EPA, ESA, Agenda 21 or "sustainable development"? Any idea who the founders of the ideas were?

Take a look over here and get yourself some education before it's too late.

Okay, King for four hours. That way we don't have to pay workmen's comp.

OK, I'll make a deal with you. Before I send the UN 'up in smoke' - make a list of all the Third World countries where the UN has been 'doing good things' and I'll let them keep on doing it. (?)

Fred, there is no way that I can or will defend the U.N.

I believe in DIRECT aid - from our/my hand to the hand of the needy. I believe in no Mr.In-betweens and no tiers of parasitical international bureaucracies, e.g. the U.N.

Think about what WE the U.S. could accomplish with the down-the-drain dollars wasted by the U.N. (and prez. campaign billions)

I do worry about a stalemate in the development and stability in third world countries. Second rate countries like France represent avarice Mr.in-betweens who benefit MORE from the U.N.'s duplicitous schemes and collusion than any third world nations have.

I hold the UN and Mr. Annan, as well as "liberal" anti-America Americans, accountable for vilifying America and Americans throughout the world - on our dime.

I resent the very presence in the U.S. of the U.N. whose members are a silk-suited self-appointed aristocracy given to meetings, reports and covert collusive cabals.

I could rant on...

Thanks.

We can burn the UN Flag, the former USSR flag and the Rainbow Gay Flags and that should really rile up the Anti/America Crazy Lawyers Union.

It's rather ironic: The quasi liberal left, and Hillary Clinton, rant about the "far rightwing conspiracy." The "rightwing" defends American traditions and values; defends America's sovereignty. However, there is NO counterpunch (from the "right")declaring what is the REAL nefarious conspiracy engaged by leftist(neoMarxist)factions.

It is no coincidence that the U.S.'Communist and Socialist parties had very similar if not verbatim campaign (editorical)platforms, mantras and partylines as the Democrat party aired in this last 2004 presidential election.

BTW, I am over the fatigue of being bashed with the "facist" ad hominem by the disloyal opposition.
I am not one to retreat from leftist ad hominem assaults.

As to concerns about the ACLU, the ACLU has always been the vanguard for the neoMarxist conspiracy. Let it be so that you may know it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
God Bless America
